Tonmtonm Ak Sòs Kalalou (Mashed Breadfruit with Gumbo Sauce)

This is a traditional Haitian dish from Jeremie, a province in the south of the country. The main ingredient is breadfruit, so named because when cooked, it tastes like freshly baked bread. It is occasionally combined with okra or sweet potatoes.

The Gumbo sauce is made with an okra base and a variety of red meats and seafood, giving the sauce a rich, savory flavor that combines the flavors of land and sea.

Tonmtonm is made up of cooked, mashed breadfruit balls that are shaped into balls and placed in bowls, ready to be dipped into a serving of thick, rich Gumbo sauce. At its finest, indulgence!
